I saw about half of it last night in a chilly wind; it should be warmer this afternoon.
Don't go if your New-Agey sensibilities are going to be offended by a hilarious
sendup of hip capitalists. I laughed 'til the tears streamed. The script is very
clever, with deft invocation of scenes from soap opera on TV and instant
flashbacks to Buenos Aires. Production is excellent--all cast members have
wireless microphones.
The story about workers taking over their failing factory is stirring. Maybe it's
too easy to scoff that industrial Marxism is anachronistic, that seizing a failed
business model is as useless as Obama's presidency. Whatevuh. Enjoy a
spirited and well-produced show. From what I saw, much recommended.
Mitchell Park (East Meadow Drive just toward the mountains from Middlefield Rd).
Music starts at 3:30 (a versatile, skilled, and humorous band), show at 4:00.
